work this out in his head and he was going around talking to everyone in the unit about how the republicans didn't give a crap about the enlisted person and why didn everyone always say the republicans are military friendly. He finally got to me and I said it was because they are very friendly to military contractors but don't care about the enlisted. I think that ended his inquiry.

More and more I'm realizing that we have been overrun by an oligarchy that just sees us as useful cogs or detritus that needs to be removed. They are intent on reducing global population by any means necessary and I don't think we can count on the Avengers to stop Thanos.

But the cruelest example of the disregard for vets, that they have blithely overlooked is Nixon secretly negotiating with Vietnam to tank Johnson's reelection, which not only extended the war, but stranded about 1700 POW's to die in Vietnamese prisons. So because some protestors called them names when they returned from a useless war, they have become loyal republican voters despite the fact that Nixon betrayed so many of their own kind. Time to put on the big boy pants and face reality. Our real enemy is the oligarchy.

of people who won't even sacrifice the cost of paying taxes for their country, voting for enemies of their country while looking for a bribe, even knowing they won't get it, and pretending they're defenders of their country. When really they're just racist cowards.

I've said it many times - I'll take an undocumented immigrant as a neighbor ANY DAY over one of those flag-waving, bible-thumping MAGAts - because only ONE of them truly believes in America
